Bonjour !

I treated myself to the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation last December simply because it's my favorite makeup product to splurge on when I have money !!

So, first of all I have very dry and sensitive skin, eczema prone actually so finding a good foundation that won't make my skin flakey or cakey is very hard. That's why I tend to buy light to medium coverage foundations that give a luminous glow. Luckily I don't suffer with spots or acne so I don't use foundation to cover anything but just to give a nice flawless look to my face.

Anyways, on the website the Skin foundation claims to be " A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup. This long-wearing formula evens tone, minimizes the appearance of pores, conceals imperfections, and offers broad spectrum UV protection. Its hydrating technology leaves skin feeling cushioned, comfortable, and clean. Ideal for all skin types. " I have to say that I totally agree with the description, it does feel light on the skin, it is long wearing and very hydrating.

Packeging wise, I must say is very good, it's a small bottle easy to travel with, the foundation comes with a pump which is always a plus. The way I apply this product varies, somedays I use my fingers, other days I use the Mac 187 or the Mac 116, I even use the Sigma SS190 sometimes.

Overall, I have to say it's the best foundation I have ever tried for my skin, it really is amazing for very dry and sensitive skin. It's not the cheapest ( 41 euros ), but if you have the money I strongly recommend you try it !

I've just realized that life doesn't always work out the way you planned it. I was supposed to attend a makeup course in Dublin in September, but the 7 banks I went to won't give me the loan so I'm basically left without nothing. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm stressed, scared and quite panicked but I refuse to be sad or depressed. No, instead of seeing this as a problem, I'm going to take this as an opportunity because there's a reason this is happening, it's going to help me grow as a person and shape me. My plan is to look for a job and save up for the makeup course I want to do. My end goal hasn't changed but the way I'm going to achieve it has. Being an organized freak like me, the fact that nothing is going according to plan is very stressful and scary but I'm using it as motivation to work harder, to do better. It's going to get better, I know it.
